St James’ Church of England Grammar School opened its doors in 1915 and four teen boys made up the initial enrolment. From these humble beginnings, we have developed into a vibrant, innovative and exciting co-educational multi-campus school with the aim to prepare students for life beyond school with an awareness and sense of responsibility about their world.

The Ivanhoe Campus offers co-educational learning from Early Learning to Year 12 and offers both VCE and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in the Senior Years. The school has an outstanding record of academic achievement, with VCE and IB students regularly performing well above the state average, and offers a broad range of curriculum and co-curricular choices.

Ivanhoe students have access to the best resources possible with facilities and systems being updated regularly. Recent developments at the Ivanhoe Campus include a new state of the art Middle Years Centre, a new Creative and Performing Arts Facility, a Food Technology Centre, new Primary Science and Library and a synthetic all-purpose playing field.
